My Plein Air adventures in Campos do Jordão, last Saturday. I made some pencil sketches, a few small watercolors...I spent an enjoyable time. "Do not spend your time thinking about everything or you will miss what the painting is about - capture the moody of the day, have fun and think about it later" (Van Waldron, about Plein Air Painting).About my video demo: thanks for your comments. I'll post a new video next days, so I can share with you my painting process.

A few weeks ago, my regular students in Brazil took part in the Painting Course at the Chateau de Beduer, Lot, France, tutored by Adam Cope. Although I was not going to take part in the course, I had been kindly invited by Adam to stay at the Chateau, so I would be able to practice some plein air painting by myself (if I wanted), enjoy regional food, meet Adam (!)…and spend a week with my wife in the Southwest of France. What can I say about this week now? It was a wonderful experience: I found a great spot to paint, excellent regional cuisine (Adam and his staff are superb), a complete quick immersion experience in French life, language, and culture. Adam is an experienced art instructor, my students loved his method and he is one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege of knowing, so…thanks Adam for everything, hope to visit you soon :-)!

I've joined La Colla dels Dimecres last Wednesday! These talented watercolorists meet every Wednesday in Barcelona to sketch, draw or/and paint. Last meeting took place in the "Jardines del Teatre Grec" and, after lunch, in the "Jardines del Palacete Albeniz". It was a delightful and unforgettable day . Thanks, gracias everybody for the day, hope to join them soon!
